| Abstract | In the last decades, botulinum toxin proved to be an efficient remedy for laryngeal dystonia and selected cases of muscle-tension dysphonia. The use of botulinum in the treatment of neurologic voice and breathing disorders started in Slovenia in 1998. Since then, 10 patients were successfully treated. The undesired side effects of treatment were rare, mild and transient. | |
| Summary | V zadnjih desetletjih se botulin uporablja za zdravljenje laringealne distonije in v izbranih primerih mišično-tenzijske disfonije. Z uporabo botulina pri nevroloških glasovnih in dihalnih motnjah smo v Sloveniji pričeli leta 1998 ter doslej uspešno zdravili 10 bolnikov. Neželeni stranski učinki so bili redki, blagi in prehodni. | |
